Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you are interested in an extremely enjoyable Rapid Spiritual Enlightenment, then this is the right book for you. In Hinduism, they say that we are already God - we just do not realize it yet. We are like a light bulb, which is glowing brightly with Godliness, yet we cannot experience our own light. We are covered in many layers of caked-on mud and muck (karmas), which induce ignorance. We have forgotten who we really are. As we clean the layers of this ignorance off, we begin to see a little crack in the muck here, a slight bit of light radiating there. The more we clean, the closer we become to experiencing the light of our own true nature (God). Yona's energy work has assisted spiritual aspirants, spiritual healers, spiritual counselors, psychics, psychologists, and both Eastern and Western medical doctors, and many nurses when they needed special help with spiritual growth, spiritual initiations, spiritual healing, and spiritual rewiring, both in their personal life and in their work. It helped to uncover their God-Self within. This book has been broken down into Three Sections: Section A addresses several major recurring areas of life on the spiritual path. Most people on this path will encounter some situations for which they have no obvious answers. Section B is a remedy for the hurdles encountered on the path to Self-Realization, through Spiritual Healing and Spiritual Initiation. Section C consists of several chapters of inspiring mystical experiences with living Masters. It is a spiritually uplifting group of Christ-like Beings, several adept Spiritual Teachers and world-renowned Spiritual Masters such as His Holiness the Dalai Lama, His Holiness Orgyen Kusum Lingpa (one of the teachers of the Dalai Lama), Satguru Sant Keshavadasji, Ammachi Mata Amritanandamayi, Shri Anandi Ma and Shri Dileepji, Shree Maa and Swami Satyananda Saraswati, and several other blessed Souls. Yona witnessed a very definite pattern emerge after offering spiritual healing, spiritual initiations and spiritual counseling in over ten thousand individual sessions to clients from around the world. The hurdles and obstacles become glaringly obvious on this path after having seen them repeatedly in others, and he has gone through more than his share of experiences from which to draw insight. This book is the culmination of volumes of spiritual experiences with some of the most famous living spiritual masters of our time, beginning in 1987.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I enjoyed this immensely... Definitely a fun and entertaining book while sharing a bit of spiritual goodness as well." Katie "This book put into words just what, and how, I was feeling about my own spiritual journey. Women and men have such different experiences and this book beautifully articulates them." Amanda Motherhood is misunderstood. Since time immemorial we've believed that when women become mothers they are taking time out from real work and serious personal growth, especially spiritual development. But we've had it all wrong. While heavily pregnant with her third child, personal growth writer Astra Niedra attempts a holiday in the tropical paradise of Australia's Far North with her husband and two young daughters in tow. During this ‘holiday’ she discovers that the skills and abilities that mothers are required to use each day as part of their job are the same as the practices prescribed for enlightenment seekers. “Her simple spellbinding stories, her keen intellect, and her unfailing humour make this book a pleasure to read. Here is a new way of thinking of spirituality, of valuing our humanity while living a spirit-infused life, and a fascinating (and novel) path to enlightenment! It's a consciousness changer and I loved it." Dr Sidra Stone "A great read for all mothers, I loved this book!" Ann Shepich This book will inspire you, entertain you and lift your spirits, all the while grounding you in the unshakeable truth that there is far more to being a mother and raising children than conventional wisdom would have us believe.

Book excerpt: I ask-What's worth knowing and practicing on this esoteric journey and what doesn't serve our higher self? What are the true spiritual teachings able to lift our consciousness to the next level of existence? What are the lessons that will take us closer to ONENESS? What are the secrets of Initiation? Like a Shakespearean tragedy, tragically, the required knowledge is allusive, and in this epoch, no popular institution is teaching this wisdom. A person must seek this knowledge without knowing where to begin the quest. To make the journey a little more hopeless, the knowledge is locked behind an unknown closed door, 50 feet thick, and guarded by 1000 armed men-metaphorically speaking. The task to learn tangible spiritual truths is Herculean. Yet, this is the duty of every living person. With this understanding, a person might emancipate the self and exist as a being who radiates true love and happiness. Without this awareness, does one truly live? My name is Mike Bhangu. I've spent over twenty years researching and ten years writing, and I present to you an understanding after scrutinizing the different philosophies, philosophers, religions, mystics, holy texts, and holy individuals. Through this manuscript I share with you the core spiritual truths able to move a person closer to ONENESS, and what some seekers call the secrets of Initiation. The knowledge presented herein is the same truth taught by the great philosophers, mystics, holy texts, holy persons, and the mystery schools of our past. However, for one reason or another, today, these teachings are understood differently than originally intended, and these misunderstandings are now the popular interpretations. Since the meaning of words and ideas changed and words and ideas are now incorrectly understood, there are many spiritual houses, many interpretations, and many religions instead of one. Yet, all true holy persons, philosophers, and mystics taught the same core truths, and all worked to guide a person toward the three points of the Celestial Triangle. In addition to explanations able to help you understand this chaotic world and the self, this manuscript will discuss these three points in detail, and according to the Enlightened, if the three are understood, a person will know all he or she requires to know. Moreover, a person acquires the potential to become one with ONE. This is the ultimate state of being. This is true serenity and happiness.

Book excerpt: Do you ever feel you need more clarity in your life? If so, Infynite's new book brings answers for you. What readers will find in this book: A clear understanding of spiritual transformation How to reach enlightenment How to find your inner self How to attain life purpose A path to understanding the most important question 'who am I' Infynite I. Ayez talks about a worldly mess that will shake your mind, leaving you confused about what you thought you knew and didn't. Ever since a man held on to falsehoods, this has led to false information becoming true. When a person has been holding on to something that is not true for a long time, that falsehood becomes faithful to him. If a misconception has become a superstition that has taken root in a person, that superstition becomes so pure that he can never again find the truth untrue; that superstition will remain faithful to him. To know the secrets of life, a person must know what he knows and understand what he doesn't know. This book is recommended for the readers of 'The Alchemist' and 'The Four Agreements.' Inner Initiation will shake the reader's mind that we do not understand the person we are except our names, bodies, minds, feelings, and all the role of a play in life. If you are one of them, and if you read this book, you will probably find out what you thought you knew about yourself, yet you don't know, and what you didn't know about yourself, now you will know.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The map to healing, expansion, and enlightenment, this companion volume to Artisans of the New Earth allows you to • locate yourself on this fascinating map of human evolution crafted through the framework of the Seven Directions—an indigenous understanding of the trajectory of soul development; • understand that what many are now living on the Earth, and what had previously been limited to a small number of individuals, is what has been called through the ages as the Shamanic Birth; • discover from the timeless perspective they offer—why, for a growing number of people, working with the multiple dimensions of existence has actually become a natural part of human maturity and a stepping-stone on the path to enlightenment; and • be guided through this profound and grounding finely detailed map as it demystifies the passage through each stage and development of human awareness, finishing at the tumultuous process of enlightenment and spiritual awakening. • understand the magnitude and meanings of what the current Earth changes really are and the adjustments required for the assimilation of these energies. Through its warm narrative, Cosgrove explores the stages of addiction and illness, and then moves into the world of artistry and expanded perception. He then points readers further, indicating that shamanic birth is merely a milestone on the way to enlightenment. Profound and grounding, and drawing its foundation from indigenous North American, Celtic and Vedic teachings, this finely detailed trajectory serves to demystify the passage through each stage of your development, and to provide you with an in-depth understanding of the soul through which you can heal yourself and others. —Rachel Freeman, BComm, is a freelance writer and editor specializing in the field of consciousness and human evolution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Goes through the entire gamut of topics covered by the Vedas, making use of yoga, detachment, the ego, karma, dharma, love, meditation and much more.” —East and West Magazine This complete guide to enlightenment presents the wisdom of the ancient science of self-inquiry, a time-tested means for achieving spiritual freedom. The author discusses the purpose of self-inquiry, the quest for lasting happiness, issues of identity and transcendence, the role of wisdom and action, and the subconscious obstacles to freedom. He convincingly refutes the popular view that enlightenment is a unique state of consciousness and debunks a host of other enlightenment myths. In his straightforward style he reveals proven methods for purifying the mind, and includes chapters on love, the science of energy transformation and meditation. He takes the reader from the beginning to the end of the spiritual path, patiently unfolding the logic of self-inquiry. “Vedanta is the original systemized enlightenment teaching, and James does an extraordinary job of extracting the essential nectar of the teachings from its dusty, ancient, Sanskrit origins and elucidating it with utmost clarity. One review cannot do this teaching, with its rich history and depth, even a modicum of justice. James’s book is the best introduction there is to this subject.” —Consciousness Junkie “Explains methods of Vedanta in his survey of spiritual techniques, pairing theory with practice and explaining the myths and realities behind an enlightened state. From reflections on moving to a larger living space and clutter to assimilating experiences, How to Attain Enlightenment is a powerful survey any new age library needs.” —The Bookwatch

This book was released on 2003-07-23 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explains the phenomenon of shaktipat, the spiritual transmission of power from a teacher to a devotee • Shows how technology has eroded personal power and how insight and awareness can play a higher role in our lives • Reveals how insight is the vehicle for profound self-transformation Shakti is the creative force, the bonding power, that holds the universe together. Shaktipat is the moment when enlightenment is conferred upon a student instantaneously by his master’s touch. The guru conferring shaktipat creates a bond of power in those who have accepted him or her as their teacher. In Spiritual Initiation and the Breakthrough of Consciousness Joseph Chilton Pearce describes his experience of shaktipat from his teacher Swami Muktananda. From this awakening Pearce experiences a dramatic shift of mind and comes to the realization that perception is reality and that insight is our only vehicle for profound self-transformation. Oneness with God is the birthright of every individual, though we are culturally vaccinated to resist experiencing this higher consciousness. Our search for objective truth has lead us not to wholeness, but instead to the belief that we have no bond to each other, to God, or to an inanimate, physical world. Our technology reduces our ability to experience revelation and leads us instead toward the chatter of confused thinking. The challenge faced by modern humanity, which is the challenge Muktananda gave to his students, is to passionately gather up the scattered fragments of our lives and channel them into the creative realm, where with insight or revelation we will be able to become more than ourselves.

Book excerpt: Explore the Other Side of Enlightenment Does enlightenment have a dark side? It does, explains David Deida, but instead of closing to what seems unloving, we can learn to open as what we would rather avoid. In Instant Enlightenment, this maverick author and teacher offers a "rude awakening" through a collection of daring exercises and practices intended to provoke, challenge, and immediately reveal the ever-present "love that lives all things." Each pithy chapter encourages readers to blast the light of consciousness on the taboos we hide in shadow, from our ideas about sex and money to emotions and spirituality. Instant Enlightenment will surprise and possibly offend you—but it will lead you "fast and suddenly" to the realization of the sacred entirety of your experience. "Dive straight into this book. Open to any page and read for two minutes, and you'll see that you are instant enlightenment."—Ken Wilber, author of A Brief History of Everything

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zachary Lansdowne, author of earlier books on the Ageless Wisdom, reveals the esoteric significance of fourteen symbolic rules that were originally published by Alice A. Bailey. He shows that the symbols in each rule have both an outer and inner meaning. The outer meaning describes an objective in character building, and the inner meaning describes a stage in the process of meditation. The initial sequence of seven rules provides elementary instructions for the path of probation, leading to the first spiritual initiation, and the next sequence provides advanced instructions for the path of discipleship, leading to the second and third initiations. Lansdowne also discusses the close relationship between these rules and the typology of the seven rays. The end result is an easytounderstand guidebook to the various stages of the spiritual path.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Details the process of spiritual initiation from aspirant to the highest Adept • Explains the characteristics of each stage of initiation, including the associated psychological issues that need to be faced to move to the next stage • Explores the long history of the Mystery traditions from ancient Egypt, Babylonia, and India to the modern Theosophy of Blavatsky and Bailey • Reveals how the Brotherhood of Spiritual Adepts is increasing global tensions to prepare humanity for the Age of Aquarius and spiritual revelation As the precessional cycle transits from Pisces to Aquarius, great shifts in spiritual evolution are on the horizon--not for all of humanity as many in the New Age movement have generously hypothesized but for those who have undertaken the necessary spiritual preparation and initiatory work. Drawing from his deep immersion in the Mystery traditions of both East and West, author J. S. Gordon investigates the initiatic path from ancient times to modern day, detailing the step-by-step process of initiation and the sequence from spiritual aspirant to the highest Adeptship. He explains the natural logic and characteristics of each stage of initiation, including the associated problems and psychological issues that need to be faced in order to move forward to the next stage. He shows how humanity is naturally inclined to spiritual evolution and the development of higher consciousness. We are part of the overall evolutionary process of Nature, a system guided by the most highly evolved Adepts and extending beyond Earth to the entire kosmos. Exploring the long history of the Mystery schools beginning with ancient Egypt, Babylonia, and India, Gordon examines the sacred metaphors and allegories of esoteric philosophy, metaphysics, occult science, and the Science of the Seven Rays as well as the Adept-inspired theosophical works of H. P. Blavatsky and A. A. Bailey. He looks at the Adept Hierarchy of the Great White Himalayan Brotherhood and considers in detail two much-discussed mysteries: The Jesus-as-Christ mystery and the Maitreya-Buddha mystery. Revealing how advancement--spiritual, scientific, and cultural--erupts out of tension, he explains how the Adepts have been increasing local and global tensions to prepare humanity for the Age of Aquarius, thereby creating the ideal preconditions for spiritual evolution and an eventual restoration of the Mysteries in our own modern era.
